La Gloria Cubana Serie R #6 Maduro cigars are robust, power-packed smokes with a full-bodied, no-nonsense blend of Nicaraguan Ligero and Dominican Olor leaf filler tobaccos draped in your choice of oily, Ecuadorian-grown Sumatra or even heartier U.S. Connecticut broadleaf maduro wrappers. Full-flavored, yet incredibly smooth, the La Gloria Cubana Serie R #6 is characterized by its wide ring size, easy draw and earthy, woody aromas. Created for more experienced cigar smokers who can really appreciate the complexities of this bolder La Gloria. WOW!

"La Gloria out does Itself "
I have been an avid cigar smoker since 1994, ... more
I have been an avid cigar smoker since 1994, when I brought Rush Limbaugh a box of Hoyo De Monterrey Double Coronas from St. Maarten. I had no idea what I had given Rush as I had not smoked cigars seriously. But, the $ 240 worth of cigars was worth the opportunity to meet Rush on his TV show.
Shortly after delivering the Hoyo Doubles to Rush, I began my education on Dominican Cigars with the Help of L-J Cigars in North Plam Beach, FL. I began with Partagas, Macanudo and other popular brands from General and Consolidated Cigar companies. In 1995, I met an individual in a cigar store in Bermuda and he told me about the La Gloria Cubana line. I did a favor for this cigar friend and brought back several boxes of cuban cigars from Bermuda on a coporate jet I was traveling on. This new found friend gave me about 10 different La Glorias, when I delivered the cubans to his home.
I was thrilled to taste these La Glorias. Without a doubt, the BEST dominican I had smoked to date. I was traveling to Palm Beach weekly and made it a point to drive round trip to Miami to buy these wonderful cigars on South West 8th Street. I was able to open a private account back then during the cigar shortage. I purchased many bundles of La Gloria Lineup; Churchills, Corona Gorda, Double Coronas, Soberanos, Charlamagnes, Wavells and Crown Imperials. I later was able to buy boxes of these fine smokes. I bet I have accumulated a pile of boxes of the La Gloria Line 10 feet high. These fine cigars will hold "their own" against any cuban smoke that I bring home on a regular basis. The quality of construction, color, shape, draw, flavor is second to none. I have personally felt that the more experienced rollers were located in the Miami facility verus the newest facilty that Ernesto opened in the Dominican during 1986. Whenever I have purschased these La Gloria boxes at J&R in New Jersey, I have looked for the "FL" indication on the box to know that I am getting the Miami grade. I have heard thoughts about this from others, but early in the Dominican 16,000 square foot expansion, I believe I was correct in the fact that the better rollers remained on SW 8th St. in Miami.
I have had the opportunity to drink espresso with several rollers and Ernesto in Miami. What a real nice guy. Ernesto has told me that he was so upset to see what some of the retailers were charging for his cigars during the shortage, in some cases $ 18.00 for a torpeado or Soberano. His goal was to make a quality cigar that people could afford.
Recently, I had the opportunity to smoke a Serie R made in the Dominican by La Gloria. What a wonderful Smoke! Excellent, every aspect of it. I am sorry that I didn't purchase all six boxes that Shannon (Customer Service) told me Famous-Smoke had in stock. The Serie R is an Absolutely Wonderful Cigar and beautifully packaged, deserved of such a well constructed cigar!
Whether you smoke a La Gloria Serie R or any of the La Gloria line, you WILL not be disappointed. A standard of excellence. Ernesto, thanks for setting such quality in the cigar industry these years. A true standard bearer.

This is by far the best cigar i've ever had. The draw was incredibly smooth. I don't think there is a cigar on the legal market that comes close. High five to La Gloria.

This is not for the newbie. This cigar packs flavor, class, aroma,and construction all into one. It is strong and rich. A cigar to be smoked slowly. Big on flavor and aroma. To a heavy duty veteran cigar smoker, this is the great gift for a special occassion. This is one classy smoke

"a high performance smoke "

I can't belive I waited so long to try these cigars. I enjoy the regular L.G.C. but the Series R maduro is an incredible smoke. While on a walk with my wife I enjoyed one of these. I could not belive how smooth and rich it was. The dark oily wrapper was nice to look at and was flawless. The ash was firm and white, the draw was good, the construction was top notch. The flavor was "FULL" but very smooth with hints of espresso . All in all a great smoke for the money and I cant wait to have another.

This cigar is an absolute must. A little more on the medium side, it packed a beautiful and complex melange of flavors. It was a true adventure to smoke as its characteristics changed in an enchanting way throughout. The construction is simply beautiful and the burn and ash were amazing. The draw was a little tight at first but a little massaging took care of that. I recommend this cigar to everyone of all different tastes. This should be a mainstay in every cigar afficiando's collection.

This is simply a BEAIUTIFUL cigar! Black as the Ace of Spades and an absolute work of art. Fantastic taste but somewhat difficult to keep lit. The burn wasn't as even as I would have liked. About half way down it really KICKED IN....this is a real MAN's CIGAR! I smoke many stronger sticks and this bad boy finally kick my butt. BUT, it was a great smoke! Recommended for anyone who is "experienced"!

This is truly a great cigar...the length, ring size, construction and taste. I tried some after reading the reviews and now have a humidor stocked full. I prefer the maduro over the other. Much better flavor. The smoke is thick and aromatic. This has become my every evening smoke and if I miss an evening, then the next morning with my coffee and walking the dog. I've tried many others but will stick with this one!! Even prefer it over my other favorite, Ashton Cabinet #7.
